A Place Nearby  by: Lene Marlin (printer friendly page)

C G
I entered the room sat by your bed all through the night
am G
I watched your daily fight I hardly knew
C G
The pain was almost more than I could bear
am F
and still I hear your last words to me

C am F G C
Heaven is a place nearby so I won't be so far away
dm am F G
and if you try and look for me maybe you'll find me someday
C am F G am
Heaven is a place nearby so there's no need to say goodbye
G am F G
I wanna ask you not to cry I'll always be by your side

You just faded away you spread your wings your had flown
away to something unknown wish I could bring you back
You're always on my mind about to tear myself apart
you have your special place in my heart always

Heaven is a place nearby so I won't be so far away
and if you try and look for me maybe you'll find me someday
Heaven is a place nearby so there's no need to say goodby
I wanna ask you not to cry I'll always be by your side

dm am
And even when I go to sleep I still can hear your voice
F G Fmaj7
and those words I never will forget
